Working while you’re here? The private office gives you a dedicated place to settle in and get things done.
ENJOY THE OUTDOORS
The large backyard gives you even more room to relax and enjoy the beautiful Iowa weather. Guests have access to an outdoor gas grill, firepit and lawn chairs. Just bring your own firewood and enjoy an evening outside.
A CONVENIENT EMMETSBURG LOCATION

We really enjoyed the space. The house was bigger than I could tell from the listing, which was a pleasant surprise. The kitchen was great for mealtime and we made good use of the fire pit and grill. The backyard offered a decent amount of privacy, with no immediate neighbors.

Another great Saint Patrick's weekend stay
We stayed here again this year, and it was great. Really convenient location to walk to downtown and the park for the kids. House was clean, communication was great and check in and check out were seamless. Will be looking to make it part of our yearly tradition to the Saint Patrick's celebration. The kids love all the games that are at the house especially the lap harp that was a big hit this year.

Return Visit
This was our 2nd stay at the Slice of Heaven property and it did not disappoint! The home was clean, well stocked, and as comfortable as the 1st visit. A winter storm came through during this visit and the property manager informed us that a snow removal service and ice melt were available if we needed them. We didn’t have to worry about anything - our stay was perfect!

Little Slice of Heaven in Iowa
We had a great stay. Centrally located in the city. It was great having the gas station nearby so we could walk to get anything we needed. The house was very clean and cozy. It had anything you could possible need if you forgot something. The communication with the owner was timely and she was very helpful with everything I asked or needed. I would highly recommend this house.

Great for a Family!
We chose this location because it was so close to our family’s farm just outside Greattinger. This home was clean and VERY well stocked with all kinds of items that made it a true home away from home. It seemed that the hosts had anticipated every need we might have long before we did and provided for it!
There were plenty of towels and extra linens. The kitchen cupboards/drawers were all neatly labeled and organized making it very easy to navigate.
Overall great stay!! We highly recommend!

Dee, thank you for your patience during the heat wave. The AC unit was installed new less than 2 years old so we wouldn’t have ever expected to have an issue but we’re thankful that Bauer Plumbing made the emergency call for us and was able to fix it. Thank you for letting us provide an adjustment for the inconvenience.
We hope you’ll come back again.

Country town charm!
The Bluebird house description was true to form. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. Our attentive hosts thought of every last detail...down to providing high end toiletries, laundry detergent and extra toothpaste if needed.
The kitchen is extremely well stocked for cooking and baking. The beds are comfy and linens super soft. The living space was perfect for our family.
It’s a very short walk to the quaint downtown Emmetsburg, disk golf park, and beautiful lake park. This house is definitely a “must stay” if you are looking to feel right at home while away from home.

Beautiful House - We Enjoyed Our Stay
We had a great stay and would stay again.
The downstairs is large and wonderful with lots of space. The kitchen is beautiful and freshly remodeled. We did a lot of cooking. We enjoyed eating in the dining room and relaxing in the living room at night.
There are so many great amenities provided including snacks, water, plenty of dishes and cooking utensils, shower amenities, lots of laundry stuff, plenty of clean towels etc. The host really thought of everything.
There is a downstairs bathroom with a new walk-in shower and laundry, as well as the upstairs bathroom with shower and tub.
You can't get a more central location, we could walk to lots of shops and the movie theater.
Excellent communication with the friendly host. Check in and check out were seamless. Five Stars!

Happiness at Bluebird House
This property has it all, you don't need to bring much along, just your clothes. (I brought too much!)
WiFi worked great. The house layout works well so that we could be together but have some alone space as well.
Kitchen is well equipped, including many spices, cooking oil, snacks, popcorn, creamers, coffee pods or coffee for brewing. We prepared most of our meals and found nothing lacking. There were plenty of dishes, silverware, glassware, bakeware, pots & pans.
Neighborhood and streets were safe for daily physical exercise routines (running, walking). Drivers were always courteous and shared the road.
This is definitely a welcome place to stay and enjoy.
We'll be back.

Qui vous reçoit ?
Vous êtes reçu par Margaret Kahn
Welcome to the Bluebird House!
After many years in the hospitality and service industries, I love being able to welcome guests to the Bluebird House in the heart of Northwest Iowa and Iowa’s Great Lakes region.
My goal has always been simple: provide a clean, comfortable, well-maintained home where guests can settle in, spread out and feel at home—whether you’re visiting family, coming to the area for work, enjoying Five Island Lake, attending a special event, or simply need a comfortable place to stay for a few days.
The Bluebird House offers something a little different from the typical hotel or motel: the character and charm of a historic home, along with the space, privacy and conveniences of having an entire house to yourself.
I’m always happy to hear from our guests. If there’s something that would make your stay more comfortable—or something you’d love to see added for a future visit—please let me know.
I hope you’ll enjoy the Bluebird House as much as I’ve enjoyed sharing it with our guests!
Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
The Bluebird House puts you close to everything while giving you the privacy, space and comfort of having an entire home to yourself.
Five Island Lake, local restaurants, Wild Rose Casino and other Emmetsburg attractions are just minutes away, and the location provides convenient access to surrounding Northwest Iowa communities—whether you’re here for work, visiting family, attending an event or just getting away for a few days.
Why settle for a single little hotel room when you can have a comfortable home-away-from-home—with room to relax, a full kitchen, laundry and space to spread out?
Come for a night, a weekend, a week or longer. The Bluebird House makes it easy to settle in and feel at home.
Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
The Bluebird House combines the character and charm of a historic 1902 home with the comforts and conveniences today’s travelers appreciate. Thoughtfully updated while retaining its original personality, it’s a place that feels like a home—not just another rental.
You’ll have the entire house to yourself, with plenty of room to spread out and relax, a full kitchen, laundry, comfortable living spaces and the privacy that’s hard to find in a traditional hotel stay.
But what really makes the Bluebird House special is that we want your stay to work for you. Visiting family? In town for work? Attending a wedding, reunion or local event? Staying for just a few nights or a little longer? We understand that every trip is different.
If you have a special circumstance, question or request, please reach out. Whenever we can reasonably accommodate you, we’ll do our best.
Our goal is simple: for the Bluebird House to become your favorite home-away-from-home whenever your travels bring you to Emmetsburg.
Thank you for considering the Bluebird House. We’d love to host you!
